Listeners, what do you like to do when you have a day off?

Well, one of my favorite things to do is to go hiking.

We have some beautiful trails in Colorado.

Now, no matter how stressed or tired I might have been, being out in the mountains always makes me feel better.

How about you? Well, Jake and Natasha

are hiking right now, but they're not there just for fun. They are on a secret mission with Ranger

Reed. Let's listen and see what took them out to the woods today in our mini-adventure called

Monkey Flower.

Thanks for bringing us on this hike up to Ellie's Peak, Ranger Reed.

We're going to help the Pathfinders earn their wildflower honor.

And we need a little help identifying the wildflowers ourselves.

I love looking for wildflowers.

So you might say you two really made my daisy.

Good one, Ranger Reed.

How very punny.

But seriously, thank you for your help.

No need to thank me, Natasha.

Leading nature walks is one of a park rangers' duties.

Want to know a secret you two?

Of course. Sure. So, leading nature walks is one of the duties of a park ranger. Yeah, but that can't be

the secret, can it? Because you just told us that. Right. The secret is that it doesn't feel like a

duty at all. It's one of my favorite things to do.
